The aim of our research was to study the effect of growth-promoting rhizobacteria (Pseudomonas oryzihabitans and Variovorax paradoxus) and toxic elements (Al, Cd and Hg) on the root exudation in various pea (Pisum sativum L.) genotypes. For this, methods of periodic cultures, gnotobiotic plant-microbial systems, ICPE and UPLC were used. It was established that rhizobacteria actively utilized organic acids and sugars secreted by the roots and contributed to an increase in pH and Al immobilization in the rhizosphere. Cadmium increased the exudation of many substances of pea line SGE, but this effect was more pronounced in the mutant SGECdt. Stimulation of the exudation of amino acids was detected during Hg treatment to a greater extent in wild-type SGE. The combined action of Cd and Hg did not lead to a further increase in exudation. The results obtained indicate various mechanisms of exudation of the studied fractions, while the most pronounced differences are observed between the fractions of amino acids or sugars with organic acids. Exudation of organic acids plays an important role in the decreased stability and accumulation of Hg by the pea mutant SGECdt.

Roots of whole 3 week-old seedlings of maize were exposed for 24 h to a solution of PbCl<sub>2</sub>. The concentrations of Pb were: 0, 200, 400, 800, 1200, 2400 mg dm<sup>-3</sup>. The amount of Pb taken up by roots was independent of the concentration of this element in the medium. The Pb taken up by shoots increased linearly with increasing treatment concentration. Pb caused: concentration-dependent inhibition of photosynthesis (PS), transpiration (T), <sup>14</sup>CO<sub>2</sub> uptake and incorporation of label into photosynthetic products. The largest limitation by Pb of the flow of photoassimilated carbon occurred into starch and sugar phosphates. Among the water-soluble photoassimilates, the largest limitation of carbon flow occurred into organic acids and sugars and the smallest into amino acids.

Plant-bacteria consortia are more effective in bioremediation of petroleum contaminated soil than when either organism is used individually. The reason for this is that plant root exudates promote growth and activity of oil degrading bacteria. However, insufficient attention has been paid to the ability of bacteria to influence root exudation. Therefore, the influence of barley plants and/or bacterial inoculation (Pseudomonas hunanensis IB C7 and Enterobacter sp. UOM 3) on the content of organic acids, sugars and plant hormones in the eluate from clean and oil-polluted sand was studied separately or in combination. These strains are capable of oxidizing hydrocarbons and synthesizing auxins. Concentrations of organic acids and sugars were determined using capillary electrophoresis, and hormones by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. In the absence of plants, no sugars were detected in the sand, confirming that root exudates are their main source. Introducing bacteria into the sand increased total contents of organic compounds both in the presence and absence of oil. This increase could be related to the increase in auxin amounts in the sand eluate, as well as in plants. The results indicate that bacteria are able to increase the level of root exudation. Since auxins can promote root exudation, bacterial production of this hormone is likely responsible for increased concentrations of soluble organic compounds in the sand. Bacterial mediation of root exudation by affecting plant hormonal status should be considered when choosing microorganisms for phytoremediation.

The water-soluble constituents of apricot and peach purees were examined qualitatively and quantitatively before and after storage for 4 to 16 months at 25 �C and 70 per cent. R.H. All samples contained all the amino acids, organic acids, sugars, and polyols previously detected (Reynolds 1967 ; Anet and Reynolds 1955a, 1966b ; Ash and Reynolds 1955a, 1955b) in the two species of fruit. The stored samples also contained the following compounds : eleven 1-(N-amino acid)-1-deoxyfructoses, traces of two 2-(N-amino acid)-2-deoxyglucoses, nine by-products of unknown constitution formed from the reaction between glucose and aspartic acid and glucose and asparagine, three compounds formed from ammonia and glucose, two series of sucrose, glucose, and fructose mono-esters of malic acid, traces of a sorbitol mono-ester of malic acid, and some sugar mono-esters of citric acid.�The free amino acid or organic acid lost was equal, on a molar basis, to the amino acid-deoxyfructoses (and related compounds) and sugar esters formed. After allowing for these derivatives as much as 7 per cent. of the total sugar (calculated as hexoses) originally present could not be accounted for.
